Is OSFED in the DSM-5?

Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders is a diagnostic category in the DSM-5 that includes eating disorders that don’t fully meet the criteria for specific disorders like anorexia, bulimia, or BED. It is an umbrella term because those who struggle with it may experience many, varied symptoms.

We believe full recovery is possible with the right treatment.

What can a dietitian nutritionist do for OSFED?

A dietitian can help a patient with OSFED to normalize their eating behaviors, improve their relationship with food, ensure adequate nutrition, and challenge food rules and beliefs around food, exercise, and body to live a happier and healthier life.

We provide both online and in-person outpatient eating disorder nutrition therapy. Our treatment includes:

Nutritional Assessment: Nutrition status assessment, identification of deficiencies, and creating a plan to restore and maintain a healthy balance of nutrients.
Meal Planning: We will work to develop structured, balanced meal plans, address food anxiety, and help normalize eating patterns.
Education and Support: Continued support to help you heal your relationship with food and body. Monitor progress and adjust meal plans. Collaborate with the treatment team.

For teens and children, we offer Family-Based Treatment. And we provide ongoing support with recovery coaching and nutrition counseling. Begin healing today.

How much does medical nutrition therapy cost for OSFED?

We accept most major insurance companies and the majority of our clients pay little to nothing outside of copays or deductibles to meet with a member of our team. We also offer military discounts as we are not in network with Tricare. We always recommend checking your insurance benefits regarding nutrition coverage as coverage depends on the patient’s individual insurance plan.

Our Testimonials

Thank you for choosing us as the Best Dietitian Practice in STL (2023)

by T, Saint Louis, MO

Wasn’t expecting that response, you are the first dietitian that looked at the good and not my one bad day.

by E, Saint Louis, MO

Thanks for helping me think about food differently and providing guidance regarding how to select carbs. Also, thanks for helping me recognize that the evolution would take several months to come to a ‘new normal’.

by C, Saint Louis, MO

I truly appreciate the encouragement and hearfelt, genuine concern you have for me. Your counsel and empathy have meant a great deal and helped keep me going during difficult times.

“For most of my life, I have correlated the size of my body to being loved and accepted. The smaller I am, the more lovable and acceptable I am. Giving up the dieting, the rules, and the noise has given me the freedom to trust, appreciate and accept love from others as well as myself”.

by Mother of a Patient, Saint Louis, MO

I am truly grateful we found you to be he nutritionist. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

by Mother of a Patient, Saint Louis, MO

Thank you for the caring devoted service and gentle compassion you have shown “S” over the years.

by Mother of a Patient

I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for us. I know we will continue to deal with food issues but at least I see hope. I honestly don’t know how L(or myself) could have got through the past year without you. You literally are a lifesaver!! You are an amazing dietitian!!.

by Mother of a Patient, Saint Louis, MO

Also, again, thank you for being so kind to “A”. She usually does not like seeing “doctor like people”, but she actually enjoys coming to see you, so that says a lot.
